I remember that, recently, you shut down all your stores to give your "partners" (employees in stores) some extra "sensitivity training". This training was prompted by a little kerfuffle involving some freeloading black men, sitting around not buying anything, then asking to use the bathroom. Admittedly, the employee involved could have been more circumspect, but …

Seattle Landlords are not going to be very happy.
The Washington State Supreme Court has just handed down a ruling that is going to make it much more difficult to own rental property in Seattle. The near-socialist, depraved City passed a law that requires landlords to rent to the "first in line qualified renter" when they have a house or apartment to rent. So …

Property Tax Rate Disparities around the Seattle area
Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates live in the tony suburb of Medina on Lake Washington. From MyNorthwest.com: Essentially, the owner of a $2 million home — the low-end of home prices in Medina — would pay $1,680 in property taxes per year to the city under the new levy, an increase of roughly $400. Right …

Coming back to bite them in Seattle
On my favorite KOMO Web site today, there is a sad story about a King County worker assaulted, right outside the King County Courthouse in (used-to-be) beautiful Downtown Seattle. This is so disgusting that I am going to copy some of that story for you here. This is what the City of Seattle and County …
A Trip to Hillsdale College, 175 years!
The first week of October, Hubby and I flew to Michigan, to attend the Hillsdale College 175th Anniversary Gala, and the dedication of the new Christ Chapel. The weather was fine on the flight out, and we got to see Mount Rainier from above. We arrived in Detroit, picked up the rental car, and headed …
Grocery Shopping used to be fun for me.
It no longer is, due to the advance of the Bag Scolds. You used to be able to go to the grocery store, get your cart or basket on the way in, and put your purchases in there. Then, when you got to the checkout line, you placed your items on the movable belt to …
You have GOT to be kidding! Nope, it’s Seattle
Further insanity from the People's Republic of Seattle. First, we have the Seattle Public Schools considering a "Social Justice Math" curriculum requirement. Yes, that's a Mandate that K-12 teachers in the Seattle Public Schools teach Math with a Social Justice slant. (I urge my readers to click on that article-it will make you want to …

FIGHT FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY!!!
Stand with, and support the Brave Hong Kongers demonstrating, at much personal risk, in the streets of their City, for months now. Every demonstrator is taking his or her life in their hands to do this. Would we have such courage if we were faced with the Heavy Hand of the Chinese Communist Party? We …
Not My Idea of Freedom
This ad appeared in one of the emails I get from a conservative Web site. My readers know I'm intending upon never going on the public dole (including Social Security and Medicare). Freedom? Medicare is supposed to be Freedom? To my way of thinking, Medicare brings these conditions with it: Medical treatment confined to "What …
Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc, Seattle?
That phrase is commonly called a fallacy (after this, thus because of this), but you can judge this instance for yourself, with a couple of stories from KOMO-Seattle. First, there is this story about the low morale at the Seattle Police Department. In recent years, there has been an increase in low-level street crime, and …
